Building river piers on land
Bridge piers can be built in 50 ft of water without driving caissons or building cofferdams; in Interstate Bridge on Columbia River concrete shells are precast on river bank, then lowered into water over driven piles, and finally filled with tremie concrete; job includes 3531-ft main bridge and 1180-ft bridge over Oregon Slough; two bridges will require total of 18 piers standing in 50 ft of water.
